Whether we deliver an e-business solution or an enabling technology,
we expect our software to exhibit the following characteristics:

Rapid
Deployment  a solution that goes online too late may
not be a solution at all. Our approach to development shrinks development
cycles, providing an initial solution in as little as six weeks.

Scalable
 business success should not lead to solution failure.
The best way to insure future scalability is the make use of industry
leading application servers, databases, middleware, and other infrastructure.
Also, our design philosophy keeps the business logic from depending
on any specific infrastructure.

We
know that no technology is appropriate to every problem. We rely on
industry leading providers of proven technologies, appropriate for the
problem. For significant e-business requirements, and underlying enablers,
these technologies represent our most important tools.

In
many cases, we can be most effective in providing the client's solution
by developing the whole solution. We can also extract a definable portion
of the requirements and implement that part, working closely with other
developers toward integration. We can work directly with the client,
or in support of another solution provider.

Because of our breadth of experience, our flexibility, and a strong
desire to help the client, we can provide support for any project phase,
and can work with a variety of tools and methods.

Because
of our high productivity, we are able to engage in fixed-price contracts.
We are flexible in our arrangements, working through a variety of risk-allocation
approaches.
